It's just the way of the NFL now. Teams don't want to hire a defensive minded head coach and then have a revolving door at offensive coordinator causing disruptions every year.

Either that guy is successful and gets hired to be a head coach elsewhere, or he sucks and you have to fire him. Then you have a limited crop of position coaches to choose from as replacements, and if they're on another team, that team can block them from interviewing.

But if you hire an offensive minded head coach who is successful, it will be "his" system that is in place for the offense, making the coordinator position easier to replace.

******* Phil Emery. It will be a severe downgrade to any other special teams coach.

Other teams used to sign our special teamers hoping they could bring some of Toub's secrets along with them.

I'm really not liking this Emery guy. His first draft annoyed me. Let's ignore our terrible line and instead draft a situational pass rusher, a tweener DB with serious injury issues, and a fullback. Then he continues the trend of failing to get a decent coordinator. Then he fires Lovie after a 10 win season. Now he's letting the top ST Coordinator in the league leave on a lateral move.

I like both those hires in both situations. Was pretty sure the Cards were gunna snake McCoy, but I think San Diego makes a little more sense for him.

I feel for Ray Horton, man. I was pretty sure he was going to be one of the first new HCs this offseason, can't believe Zona wants to keep him around as just the DC. I imagine he'll get a gig eventually, but I've no idea why anyone in their right mind would consider hiring Marc Trestman over Ray Horton. Or Ken Whisenhunt.

I believe the rule is that a team can only block a lateral hire. If you want to talk to another team's WR coach for your OC position, you can.

He won't ever get a HC offer until he cuts his hair. It sucks, but no NFL owner is hiring a HC with braids.
